False Flag MH370 update: Missing airliner reveals new Global terrorism base in Thailand! Officials blame Iran! Five passengers never got on plane!

10 March 2014 (09:52 UTC-07 Tango)/08 Jumada l-Ula 1435/19 Esfand 1392/10 Ding-Mao 4712

“Thailand has been used by some international terrorist groups as a zone of operation, to raise funds or to plan attacks.”-Rommel Banlaoi, terrorism analyst

“Thailand is a destination for international crime organizations who use it to secure travel documents, financial documents. It’s not just linked to terrorism but to other crimes. It’s a complex network, connected to other networks.”-Unnamed Thai intelligence official

“A police team combined with local police and immigration are working to track down a passport ring.”-Panya Mamen, Thai police commander

“If Malaysia Airlines and all airlines worldwide were able to check the passport details of prospective passengers against our database, then we would not have to speculate whether stolen passports were used by terrorists to board MH370.”-Ronald Noble, International Criminal Police Organization (aka ICPO, aka Interpol)

Surprisingly many countries do not check Interpol’s data base of stolen passports!

Thai police announced they are focusing their crack down on passport theft operations to the island of Phuket.   Both the ‘fake’ MH370 passengers who bought consecutive tickets used faked passports that were made using stolen passports on the island resort.

In Thailand people who engage in making and selling fake passports can be jailed for up to 20 years, but here’s the problem; officials admit many Thai police are actually involved in the fake passport operations!

China Southern Airlines, which works with Malaysian Airlines, revealed that the two ‘fake’ passengers with consecutive tickets had also bought tickets to fly from China to Europe.  The tickets were bought in Thailand.

The Thai travel agent who sold the tickets said the purchase of the tickets was actually arraigned over the phone by a man who claimed to be Iranian.  She had also sold tickets to the ‘fake’ passengers for an earlier flight, on 06 March, but the tickets expired.  She said the “Iranian” gave his name as Ali, only.   She said she did regular business with this “Ali”, and he always paid in cash.

“We have stopped men with false or stolen passports and carrying explosives, who have tried to get past KLIA security and get on to a plane. There have been two or three incidents, but I will not divulge the details.”-Unnamed senior Malaysian police official to Reuters

There were reports that Malaysian police identified one of the two ‘fake’ passengers.  No further details.

Vietnam reports their search planes have lost sight of what they thought might be wreckage of the Boeing 777.  Oil slicks on the ocean turned out not to be from an aircraft, according to lab tests of oil samples.

Airline officials have revealed that five passengers who checked in, never got on the plane.  Their luggage was also removed from the plane before takeoff.

Chinese officials have been criticizing the lax security in Malaysia.  The majority of passengers on MH370 were Chinese.

Norovirus / Gastroenteritis: More deaths! Military veterans hit! U.S. judge says ‘stop blaming cruise ship passengers’! Scientist who discovered virus dies!

Australia:  In Victoria State, people are being warned of rising  gastroenteritis cases.  The majority are being blamed on eggs contaminated with salmonella.  In the past 20 years salmonella cases have increased 80% in the Land Down Under!  Campylobactera is up 20%.  Overall food related gastroenteritis cases up 75% from 2001 to 2011!  So much for advanced health care and food production systems.

Canada: In Nanaimo, British Columbia, reports that one hospital and at least six old folks homes hit with norovirus.  In Burlington, Ontario, a retirement home hit with norovirus.  Six people died, but officials don’t think norovirus was the direct cause: “The deaths were reported. We don’t have the cause of death. They all had underlying illnesses.”-Dimitra Kasimos, Halton Region Health Department

European Union:  A study confirms what I reported more than a  year ago; frozen strawberries contained norovirus!  Those strawberries came from China and hit Germany hard in the gut.  Read the Eurosurveillance report here.  In United Kingdom, P&O’s Oriana cruise ship is reported to have suffered a norovirus outbreak.  At least 57 passengers sick. Wards at three hospitals in Gloucestershire have been closed to visitors. These are the second outbreaks in the past month for two of those hospitals.  In Spain, health officials are calling for mass vaccinations against some of the causes of gastroenteritis.  This comes as Finnish scientist warn of rotavirus outbreaks.  There is no vaccine for norovirus.

Guyana: The people of Barima-Waini continue to deal with outbreaks of gastroenteritis.  It’s being blamed on the E coli bacteria.

Pakistan: Army health workers have reached the village of Mithi in Tharparkar District.  A long drought is being blamed on cases of gastroenteritis in the children.  Unfortunately 137 people have died in Tharparkar District, mostly children.

Florida U.S.A.:  The Department of Health Lee County reporting a nursing home hit by norovirus.  59 cases, the first for the county this year.

Georgia U.S.A.: 110 students sick at Cartersville High School.  Cartersville Elementary School also seeing increased student absences.

Minnesota U.S.A.:  130 kids sick over a three day period at Glyndon-Felton Elementary.  Other schools in the district reported absences as well.

Missouri U.S.A.: Half the Saint Charles Chill hockey team out sick, after eating at a charity event.

Nebraska U.S.A.:  The Department of Health and Human Services reports widespread cases of tummy bug.  Health officials are suggesting people go on the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast).

New Jersey U.S.A.:  Princeton University reports an outbreak of gastroenteritis.  So far 65 students sick.

New York U.S.A.: A state supreme court judge, Thomas A. Dickerson, has written a long critic of hotels, cruise ships and other locations that see increased infections.  He concludes that the customers/passengers can not be blamed for the outbreaks, but cleaning standards by service industries are too lax. He cites many reports.

North Carolina U.S.A.:  143 students at Isaac Dickson Elementary School out sick, for at least two days!  Other schools in the district are on alert.  Mecklenburg County reports that at least six long term care facilities have been hit with outbreaks.

Ohio U.S.A.: The Hamilton County Public Health Department reports at least 62 people sick at a long term care facility.  Two people hospitalized.

Oregon U.S.A.: 125 veterans and 25 VA employees sick at the White City Veterans Affairs rehab center.  Police were called in to warn people as they entered the facility.

Texas U.S.A.: The Austin-Travis County Health and Human Services Department reports at least 12 outbreaks at long term care facilities.  The Bell County Health District reports increased ER visits due to norovirus, and at least three outbreaks at long term facilities.

Albert Z. Kapikian, the National Institutes of Health virologist who discovered norovirus in 1972, died on 24 February 2014.

False Flag Ukraine: Video shows Jewish politician with M4 in trunk of car, apparently after he shot at police & protestors!

10 March 2014 (20:18 UTC-07 Tango 09 March 2014)/08 Jumada l-Ula 1435/19 Esfand 1392/10 Ding-Mao 4712

A video posted to the internet on 19 February 2014 is finally getting attention.  It purports to show Jewish Ukrainian Sergey Pashinsky, of the Fatherland Party.

The video clearly shows a soft guncase containing an M4 (M16/AR-15 family) in the trunk of the man’s car.  He’s allowed to leave with the gun.  The original YouTube posting says the M4 had a silencer, and that Pashinsky shot both a “Berkut” and a “Maidan” .

I’ve already written about ‘former’ Israeli Defense Force soldiers admitting they are leading Jewish rebel groups in Ukraine.

False Flag MH370 update: Techie passengers “were very important people”! Interpol screw up? More fake passengers! Don’t rent motorcycles with your passport!

10 March 2014 (18:25 UTC-07 Tango 09 March 2014)/08 Jumada l-Ula 1435/19 Esfand 1392/10 Ding-Mao 4712

The 20 employees reported as working for IBM work specifically for Texas based FreescaleSemiconductor.  At least one MH370 passenger did work directly for IBM.

In 2007 FreescaleSemiconductor announced they were working with IBM on data gathering “semiconductor research and development”.  It’s known that at least one IBM employee on the flight was a Technical Storage Executive for IBM in Malaysia.

Mitch Haws, of FreescaleSemiconductor, described the company’s employees, on MH370, as “….people with a lot of experience and technical background and they were very important people. It’s definitely a loss for the company.”  Haws also stated the employees were involved in “sophisticated work”.

Chinese officials are reporting that the family of one of the MH370 passengers tried calling their cell phone, after the crash, and it worked!  However, nobody answered and the signal eventually cut off.

Chinese officials are now reporting that one of the Chinese passengers was using a fake ID.  The man who belongs to the ID was found alive and well in Fujian Province.  The man says he’s never lost his identification documents, so Chinese officials are concerned about how the fake passenger got the man’s ID!

Security camera footage of the two fake passengers who bought consecutive numbered tickets has been turned over to police.

The International Criminal Police Organization (aka ICPO, aka Interpol) is concerned about the fake passports, because their own databases have that info, which is available to airlines and governments.  They also backed up the Malaysian Defense Minister’s claim that the passenger list showed numerous other ‘fake’ passengers.  So how did the users of the fake passports get away with it?

“Whilst it is too soon to speculate about any connection between these stolen passports and the missing plane, it is clearly of great concern that any passenger was able to board an international flight using a stolen passport listed in Interpol’s databases.”-Ronald Noble, Interpol Secretary General

Interpol officials said they are also “…interviewing immigration officials who let the imposters through. Early indications show some sort of a security lapse….”

Malaysian Defence Minister (and acting Transportation Minister), Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, stated that the entire passenger list is suspect: “We will investigate the whole manifest. We will not only target the four people mentioned in the media but all those in the manifest.”

Vietnamese search planes reported what looks to be a door and a section of tail from the missing flight MH370.  Indian news sources say the plane might have broken up in flight.

Turns out the Italian who reported his passport stolen in Thailand, which was then used by a fake passenger, was found to be still in Thailand.  He was found by reporters from a Thai newspaper, and was picked up by Thai police for questioning.

The Italian says his passport was stolen when he rented a motorcycle in Thailand.  The rental shop owners demanded he give his passport as collateral, but when he returned the motorcycle they told him they gave his passport to somebody else by mistake.  He says he returned to Italy to get temporary documents then went back to Thailand.

China, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, United States, Australia, United Kingdom, New Zealand and Indonesia are now involved in the investigation and search.

Martial Law U.S.A. 2014: U.S. company builds mini-drone UAV that can attack you, & they’re proud of it!

09 March 2014 (16:50 UTC-07 Tango)/07 Jumada l-Ula 1435/18 Esfand 1392/09 Ding-Mao 4712

A company called Chaotic Moon Studios has created a small easily portable UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) which can taze you.

It’s called Project Cupid, and the UAV itself is called Chaotic Unmanned Personal Intercept Drone.

It’s interesting that the public demonstration was reported in the “business” section of news agencies.  Also, they zapped a real person with the drone, and despite police and the companies that make ‘tazerz’ claiming they’re safe, a paramedic team gave the victim the once over after he got zapped, something cops never allow in real life (which could explain why so many victims of cop tazingz die).

The creators of the Personal Intercept Drone said the purpose of their demonstration was to show the real potential of such small unmanned aerial vehicles.

World War 3, East European Front: Japan leans towards Russia? Ethnic Russians take capitol building in Lugansk! Residents of Donetsk calling for Russian Referendum!

09 March 2014 (08:19 UTC-07 Tango)/07 Jumada l-Ula 1435/18 Esfand 1392/09 Ding-Mao 4712

The United Kingdom’s Foreign Secretary, William Hague, has drawn a Red Line.  If Russia enters eastern Ukraine then a “real shooting conflict” will result.

3-thousand ethnic Russians have surrounded the capitol building in the city of Lugansk (Luhansk), which is also its own province.  1-thousand people entered the building and hoisted the flag of Russia.

In the province (oblast) of Donetsk about 7-thousand ethnic Russians are demonstrating for their own Crimeanisk referendum to declare union with Russia.

Ukrainian Railways has stopped service to the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.

Obama regime puppets in Kiev have seized bank accounts belonging to residents of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.

The Obama regime puppets in Kiev have begun turning on themselves, in the form of self imposed austerity.  Members of the puppet government have been ordered to stop buying cars, furniture, mobile phones, laptops, etc. Charter flights and phone calls will no longer be reimbursed.

The Trilateral Commission member, Japan, is now leaning towards Russia.  Apparently Prime Minister Abe Shinzo does not want to harm relations with the more economically viable Russia.  An unnamed Abe cabinet member told Japanese news media that while Japan might officially support the policies of the Obama regime it does not mean it will blindly follow the United States.

More Fukushima Fallout: Final report says operators of nuclear power plants are incompetent! Says data reveals False Flag evidence at Fukushima Daiichi!

09 March 2014 (07:36 UTC-07 Tango)/07 Jumada l-Ula 1435/18 Esfand 1392/09 Ding-Mao 4712

“Across the board, the commission found ignorance and arrogance unforgivable for anyone or any organization that deals with nuclear power. We found a disregard for global trends and a disregard for public safety.”-Japan Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission

Not only did the independent committee blame the operators of nuclear power generators for not taking serious the risks of nuclear power, but they also blamed Japan’s Atomic Energy Society.  They said the Society is ignorant of the safety and risk factors with the operations of nuclear power plants!  The committee said Japan’s nuclear power ‘experts’ “locked themselves in their narrow field of expertise”.

“We think safety functions were not particularly affected by the earthquake….the direct cause of the accident was insufficient measures to deal with tsunami, severe accidents and emergencies…”-Japan Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission

The independent committee said their review of data from Tokyo Electric Power Company, and other available data plus their own computer simulations, brought up many False Flag questions, such as: The official claim that loss of cooling fluid took place at Fukushima Daiichi reactor Unit 1 is false, and the official explanation blaming the tsunami on external power loss, resulting in cooling system shutdowns for several reactors is wrong.  The earthquake and tsunami should not have caused power loss at Fukushima Daiichi!

Funabashi Yoichi, who led a separate privately funded independent investigation, blames Japan’s revolving door government, and jealous government agencies, for idiotic policies and lack of action: “The government is keenly aware of the nuclear security problems, but there is no leadership to do something about that. The policy agencies do not want to see any sizable new enforcement body emerge at the expense of their vested interests…….you rotate so often, there is no accountability and people are usually not willing to take risks. Your first instinct is just to procrastinate on making decision on tough issues……In a nutshell, we have not solved anything in the past three years…..”

“These are soldiers of fortune proficient in combat operations. Most of them had operated under private contracts in Iraq, Afghanistan and other states.”-Unnamed Russian official

Donetsk is one of the Ukrainian provinces that basically declared independence, refusing to recognize the Obama regime puppets in Kiev.  Now there is video of men dressed in typical Academi/Xe Services/Blackwater uniforms trying to harass pro-Russian demonstrators in Donetsk.  They might be from the Academi spinoff known as Greystone.

False Flag update: MH370 suddenly changed course! Fourth fake ‘passenger’ as Defense Minister says entire passenger list looks fake! MH370 went missing just 50 minutes after takeoff, not 2 hours later as originally reported!

09 March 2014 (04:44 UTC-07 Tango)/07 Jumada l-Ula 1435/18 Esfand 1392/09 Ding-Mao 4712

“We managed to establish contact with MH370 just after 1.30am and asked them if they have transferred into Vietnamese airspace……There were a lot of interference… static… but I heard mumbling from the other end.  That was the last time we heard from them, as we lost the connection….”-Pilot of another Boeing 777, flying 30 minutes ahead of MH370

“We had that terrible knife attack at the train station and I just begin to wonder if there might not be some sort of asymmetric action going on, on the part of the separatists.…that they’ve taken the struggle out of Xinjiang itself and moved it into China and perhaps abroad.”-Felix Patrikeeff from the University of Adelaide Australia

“This gets our antenna up, for sure. Once you hear that, stolen passports, a plane disappearing from the radar, you have to go to the full-court press.”– U.S. Representative Pete King (New York), House Homeland Security Committee

“There is a possible indication that the aircraft made a turnback. It is in some part corroborated by civilian radar.”-General Rodzali Daud, Royal Malaysian Air Force

“….there is no doubt that the last reported position of MH370 is about 150km northeast of Kuala Terengganu….We have good radar coverage in the area the flight went missing and the last signal was received from an altitude of 35,000 feet.”-Fredrik Lindahl, CEO FlightRadar24

Here’s another False Flag feather in your conspiracy cap: Sweden based flight tracking service, FlightRadar24, says flight MH370 went missing just 50 minutes after takeoff, not the originally reported two hours!

“Flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur at 1641 UTC time (12.41am local time) and disappeared from www.flightradar24.com at 1720 UTC time (about 1.21am local time) between Malaysia and Vietnam.”-Fredrik Lindahl, CEO FlightRadar24

Who made the original two hour claim?  Malaysian Airlines CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya.  Later, Malaysian Department of Civil Aviation director-general, Datuk Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, changed it to one hour after takeoff.  Rahman based it on claims from Vietnam that MH370 was seen halfway between Kuala Lumpur and Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City, about 50 minutes into the flight.

“This was followed by anomalies in the radar data of the aircraft over the next minute. Although these may be related to the aircraft, it could also be caused by the flight leaving the receiver range.”-The Aviation Herald

The Aviation Herald, which post flight info on the internet, says Chinese radar reported the plane going into a dive: “Aviation sources in China report that radar data suggest a steep and sudden descent of the aircraft, during which the track of the aircraft changed from 024 degrees to 333 degrees. The aircraft was estimated to contact Ho Chi Minh Control Center (Vietnam) at 01:20L, but contact was never established.”

In previous article I reminded readers about Air France flight 447, which disappeared under similar mysterious circumstances in 2009.

At least 21 of the passengers worked for Texas based IBM.

U.S. news media continue to  report that only two ‘passengers’ were bogus, as the real people were found safe at home in Australia and Italy, claiming their passports had been stolen in Thailand.  However, the Austrian Foreign Ministry has confirmed that one of their citizens was not on flight MH370, even though somebody with his stolen passport was. His passport was also stolen while in Thailand.

The BBC reported that tickets purchased using the names of the Austrian and the Italian were bought on the same day and had consecutive numbers.

And now there are reports that a fourth ‘passenger’ was bogus!  Malaysian Defence Minister, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, confirms that a fourth name on the passenger list is probably fake!  He also confirmed that the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, as well as investigative agencies from other countries, are now working with Malaysian intelligence agencies.

Hishamuddin Hussein, who is also acting transport minister, says the entire passenger list looks bogus!!!   You can see the PDF passenger list at Malaysia Airlines’ website.

The Boeing 777 used for flight MH370 had, at one point in its life, a wing tip replaced after an accident on the ground with another plane.  The work was certified by Boeing as good to go.
